Prompt:
Many human rights advocates
working in the field of women’s rights believe that it is essential for human
rights lawyers to work with people in other fields, such as social scientists,
health professionals, teachers, and business leaders to advance these rights. Your
human rights organization has been approached to write a report on why such a
transdisciplinary coalition is important to form in order to defend and advance
the rights of Muslim women in western countries such as France. Your report
should cover the following topics: (1) the problem, (2) the proposed solution
in brief, (3) the factual background, (4) the geopolitical context, (5) the international
and domestic law(s), (6) the analysis, and (7) the conclusion. (See below for a
sample outline of a human rights report; feel free to modify to suit the
current purposes.)
Human
Rights Report – Sample Outline:
Executive Summary (a kind of thesis statement)
Case background, context
and framework (what is the problem, how
long does the problem date back, what are the historical causes, who are
the actors responsible, who is affected by it, etc. as well as what
methodology you have used in identifying and understanding the problem
in order to prepare this report) – a key part of the latter part will be
identifying and positioning yourself so that the reader knows who is
preparing this case report on behalf of this cause or the affected
population group and who is the primary holder of unfulfilled human
rights obligations in this empirical situation.
Cooperation with human rights
mechanisms:
Scope of local, state, domestic
and international obligations (what human rights obligations are
relevant and should apply to this problem?)
Policies (what of these are
in place to support the realisation of human rights concerning
this problem?)
Institutions and human rights
infrastructure (what of these are in place to support
the realisation of human rights concerning this problem?)
Extent of implementation (e.g.. achievements made in recent times (if any),
best practices which have emerged (if any), challenges and constraints
faced by government)
Recommendations (e.g. capacity building, technical assistance,
strengthening of local, state, national and/or international priorities,
etc.)
Appendix (please limit your appendix to references or a
bibliography).
